Driving-time context
Support awareness of accumulated driving and the time remaining before a required break.
TruckerMate is being developed to help professional drivers understand their current duty context, available time, breaks and rest position. It provides decision support—not legal advice and not a replacement for the tachograph record.
EU and UK domestic rules, Working Time rules, exemptions and individual operating circumstances can interact. A support tool must not overstate what it knows.
Support awareness of accumulated driving and the time remaining before a required break.
Present break information clearly, including relevant split-break context where applicable.
Help the driver review daily-rest timing without presenting the app as the legal record.
Surface relevant weekly context while recognising that full compliance depends on complete records.
Assist interpretation and planning, but never replace the approved tachograph, downloads or operator analysis.
The driver and operator remain responsible for applying the correct rules to the actual journey and duty.
The tachograph and the operator’s retained records remain authoritative. TruckerMate can assist with awareness and planning, but it cannot certify compliance or account for information that has not been entered or received.
Always verify the proposed route or operational information against current road signs, legal restrictions, vehicle details, site instructions and actual conditions.
Drivers need answers that reflect what they are doing now: driving, other work, availability, break or rest. The interface should keep that context clear and avoid generic or misleading countdowns.
Each page focuses on one clear professional-driver requirement while linking to the wider TruckerMate service.
